洛杉磯模特妮可·科茨的尸體在她的豪華公寓內(nèi)被發(fā)現(xiàn)，被判定為意外事故

The drug-related death of a Los Angeles model has been ruled accidental after her body was found inside her luxury apartment last month.
上個(gè)月，一名洛杉磯模特的尸體在她的豪華公寓內(nèi)被發(fā)現(xiàn)，她的死被判定為意外事故。

Nichole Coats, 32, died on Sept. 10 as a result of "cocaine and ethanol toxicity," according to the County of Los Angeles Medical Examiner.
據(jù)洛杉磯驗(yàn)尸官稱，32歲的尼科爾·科茨于9月10日死于“可卡因和乙醇中毒”。

Her body was found by family members when they came to check on her after she failed to return their calls and texts. At the time, the Los Angeles Police Department told PEOPLE her death was not being treated as a homicide.
由于她沒有回他們的電話和短信，家人來查看她的情況時(shí)發(fā)現(xiàn)了她的尸體。當(dāng)時(shí)，洛杉磯警察局告訴《人物》雜志，她的死并沒有被視為他殺。

However, Coats' family was not convinced, especially as another model, 31-year-old Maleesa Mooney, was found dead in her downtown L.A. apartment just two days after Coats on Sept. 12.
然而，科茨的家人并不相信，尤其是另一位模特，31歲的馬莉薩·穆尼，在科茨死后兩天，也就是9月12日，被發(fā)現(xiàn)死在她位于洛杉磯市中心的公寓里。

Coats' mother, Sharon Coats, told PEOPLE at the time that she suspected "foul play" in her daughter's death.
科茨的母親莎倫·科茨當(dāng)時(shí)告訴《人物》雜志，她懷疑女兒的死是“謀殺”。

“The police aren’t doing anything," she said. "They want to make it seem like there was no foul play. I just don’t buy it. I just want to rule it out.”
“警察什么也沒做，”她說。“他們想讓這件事看起來不像是謀殺。我就是不相信。我只是想排除這種可能性。”

Nichole's aunt May Stevens — who was one of the family members who discovered her body — agreed. “I believe it was murder, I really do," she told KTLA. "I feel that there’s a predator loose.”
尼科爾的姨媽梅·史蒂文斯是發(fā)現(xiàn)她尸體的家庭成員之一，她同意這一說法。“我相信這是謀殺，真的，”她告訴KTLA電視臺(tái)。“我覺得有一只捕食者逃跑了。”

However, the LAPD later stated in a press release that “there is no evidence to suggest” that the deaths of Coats and Mooney are linked.
然而，洛杉磯警方隨后在一份新聞稿中表示，“沒有證據(jù)表明”科茨和穆尼的死有關(guān)聯(lián)。

Still, Sharon said she had unanswered questions and described not knowing what happened to her daughter as "a nightmare."
盡管如此，莎倫說她還有一些問題沒有得到解答，她說不知道女兒身上發(fā)生了什么，就像“一場(chǎng)噩夢(mèng)”。

"I am trying to stay strong. I am hurt. I am heartbroken and I am severely devastated. This was totally unexpected," she told PEOPLE.
“我正努力保持堅(jiān)強(qiáng)。我受傷了。我心碎了，我受到了嚴(yán)重的打擊。這完全出乎意料，”她告訴《人物》雜志。

“I want to find out what happened to my daughter,” Sharon continued. “It was too soon. She was too young. She was doing well and then this happens. She was healthy. I am still trying to grasp all this. When she came in the room she brightened up the whole room. Her smile was like a diamond. She was like a gem.”
“我想知道我女兒到底出了什么事，”莎倫繼續(xù)說道。“這太快了。她太年輕了。她本來很好，然后就發(fā)生了這種事。她很健康。我還在努力理解這一切。當(dāng)她走進(jìn)房間時(shí)，整個(gè)房間都活躍起來了。她的笑容像一顆鉆石。她就像一塊寶石。”

Sharon also shared that Nichole — who also worked as a beauty products sales rep — had been looking forward to an upcoming vacation to Cancun, Mexico, with some friends.
莎倫還說，妮可是一名美容產(chǎn)品銷售代表，一直期待著和朋友們一起去墨西哥坎昆度假。

“I had to cancel her flights,” she explained. “She bought bikinis. They still have the tags on them.”
“我不得不取消她的航班，”她解釋說。“她買了比基尼。它們的標(biāo)簽還在。”
